l i LettcsPatent No. $7,646, datcdMa/rchg, 1869. l*

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the tame.

To all whom 'itma/y concern.

Be it known that I, G. W. DARBY, of New Vienna,

vented a new and valuable Improvement in Water- Elevators; and I do` hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked Figure 1 ofthe drawings is a plan view of my device;

Figure 2 is a side view,.and Figure 3 is an end fview thereof.` My invention relatesl to that class of devices in which wind is used-as a motor for raising water; and

It consists mainly in novel means for placing the working-machinery in and out of gear, the object being to promoteeconomy and provide against a waste of water. 4

The letter-A of the drawings represents a frame, to be set immediately over the well or spring.

Letter B is a cross-bar, adjusted in the side-beams of said frame, as shown; and Letter O is a cross-bar, placed on the top of the frame. Letters a are friction-rollers, arranged inthe top of frame A, and serve as wheels, upon which the ring E revolves, as hereinafter mentioned.4 v

Letter E is a revolving-ring, resting upon the rollersa, and united, by rods c, with the vparts connected with the vane, in the manner represented. 1

The letter Gr is an upright shaft, with a crank, d, at

top, as shown. Y

The lever t sustains this shaft, near its lower end, at the point where it passes through the cross-bar B,- and serves as a means for raising or lowering the same. This leveri is adjusted onv cross-bar B, by a hinge or taple, as shown.

I s front end is formed in the shape of jaws, that clasp partly around the shaft G, and its rear end is united with the' rod s, as shown. i v

The rods is united, at its top, with the '-`r'"er en'd of lever ,and its lower end is connected with the float u, as represented.

The float u'is a box or block, that sets in the watertank,'is firmly connected with the rod s, and operates the working-machinery in andout of gear, as hereinafter specied The letter H is the vane of the windmill, and Letters K are the fans.

Letter Mis a box, to which the vane is attached, in i the manner shown, and is supported and held in place bymeans of the rods c, as represented.

The letter P is a horizontal shaft, that passes'through the box M, and has its arbors in the ends thereof', as shown. p p

Letter o is a small bevelled pinion, attached to said shaft P, that meshes and operates with the pinion h, on the shaft G. The fans of the mill are adj usted on shaft?, outside the box M, at the point and in the manner represented; and it is held in place by thelwasher or ring y, in the manner shown.v Y

`My elevator operates as follows, to .witz

When `the water in the tank is low, andvneeds replenishing, the float u draws down the rod s, which, in

turn, aotuates the lever fi, and, in connection therewith, raises the shaft G, and places the pinion h in gear with pinion fv, and the machinery is set in motion.

The crank d is connected with and operates a forcepump, by means of which, when the machinery is in gear, water is forced-into the tank, until it is nearly or quite filled.

A When the water has reached the height in the tank i for which the mechanism has been adjusted, the oat,

operating through the devices connected therewith,

serves to drop' the shaft G to such a point that thel pinious hand v ceaseto work with each other, and allow the fans to revolve without rotating shaft G, and consequently the pumping-process is discontinued, to be resumed in the manner above stated.

' What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure -by Letters Patent, is-

The doat u, in combination with rod s, lever i, shafts G and P, and pinions brand lu, constructed and operating substantially as andfor the purposes herein speci-` fied.

In testimonyv that I: claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name, in the presence of two wit- G. W. DAAR-BY.
